Pinoy Festivals: Peñafrancia Festival 2013 Schedule of Activities, How To Get There, Things To Do and Where To Stay

Marian pilgrims and Bicolanos from all over the world come home to Naga City every September to pay homage to "Ina". The celebration of Penafrancia Festival in Naga City is the unparalleled display of the Bicolanos' undying devotion to the beloved "Ina" and patroness of Bicol - the Our Lady of Peñafrancia.
